Captain Henry Waterhouse Reserve

This small, boutique hotel was an amazing find in Sydney. Located a short distance from the gates of garden Island naval dockyard and the famous 'Harry's Cafe de Wheels' it is a perfect spot for the short term visitor. I arrived at the hotel at 0900 straight from a cruise ship, and was delighted to find that a room was available, even though the Manager, Richard, assured me that usually the occupancy rate for this property is, understandably, very high. The reception area comprised a lovely marine themed lounge and rest area, which was nice. The hotel offered not only free wifi but a complimentary, self-serve full English breakfast, which was delightful. The bedroom was comfortable too, with plenty of amenities provided. All this for just $134 per night and close by the Royal Botanical Gardens makes this the ideal stop over. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. From now on it will be my 'go to' hotel in Sydney.

I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The room was clean and comfortable, and everything was well taken care of. The staff were friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend it to others.
